HoyleCohen to Join The Colony Group

HoyleCohen, a leading West Coast based RIA with four offices across California and Arizona, initially joined Focus as a partner firm in 2006. Specializing in long-term planning through designing and implementing tailored wealth solutions, HoyleCohen has earned a reputation for its strong client relationships and the ability to meet its clients’ individual needs.

HoyleCohen will gain access to Colony’s extensive planning and investment expertise to enhance its wealth advisory capabilities. In turn, Colony will leverage HoyleCohen’s highly skilled advisors and resources to strengthen its footprint within key markets across the West Coast. HoyleCohen is expected to add approximately $3.6 billion in regulatory assets under management, measured as of June 30, 2024, to Colony upon the completion of this transaction.

“We have grown significantly since partnering with Focus in 2006. As we evaluated the resources that our team needed to continue our pace of growth, we realized that partnering with a firm like Colony would help us accelerate the achievement of our firm’s goals and, most importantly, the life goals of our clients,” said Mark Delfino, CEO and Senior Managing Partner at HoyleCohen.

“HoyleCohen has established itself as a leader in providing personalized financial and life planning advice,” said Adam Birenbaum, who became CEO of Colony through its recent combination with Buckingham Strategic Wealth, LLC. “We welcome HoyleCohen’s talented advisors, and we look forward to working with them to further enhance our offerings and capabilities.”

“HoyleCohen and Colony are deeply aligned in their core values and how they serve clients,” said Michael Nathanson, CEO of Focus. “We’re confident that, together, they will take full advantage of the solutions each has built to meet the complex and unique needs of their clients and teams.”
